So, aside from the virus that sprung up in #2.22, just in time for the finale, there is another reason why season 2 ends in such a disappointing manner; and it's this: Lara has a giant freak-out to a Patti Smith song, and we get to see all seven minutes of it. I don't think we need to, but we get to see what is, in its own way, the worst 80s music video ever filmed. And about a minute of it advances the plot.
I'm sure that it was a blast to film, but it feels like watching the last 20 minutes of "2001: A Space Odyssey" - about two minutes in you start to think "Okay, I get it - can we see what else is happening now please, because this is tiring to see." I love the series, and I've read a lot of negative reviews of season 2, but the plot of Frank losing faith in the group over the course of the season is far more compelling than the self-contained mysteries that characterize most of season 1 (right up until we meet Lucy Butler). There are two episodes that seem to have been just thown in to break up the darkness (#2.09 "Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense" and #2.21 "Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me") but what they really achieve is a stalling of the momentum. If you're watching on DVD, you might skip them because they'll just leave you frustrated that you spent 90 minutes on them and didn't learn anything about Frank, Watts, Lara or the group. Watch them when you're done with the real story, but they're often played for painful laughs.
